Lewiston, Maine (October 21, 2016) – New England Kumenyana (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: Kutsogola,” lachiwelu, November 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.Poyambirira lero, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.
Kwenikweni chochitika, “The” Ryan Sanders (10-8) adzakumana Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sanders’ first fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered a “dream match” by Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanders’ camp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.
The co-main event of the evening will feature an interesting “Coach vs. mphunzitsi” nkhondo. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founderJosh parkers (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest. Shorey is coming off a big win in Rhode Island earlier this fall, while Parker will be returning to the MMA cage after spending the last three years competing as a boxer.
Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be undefeated prospectAaron “Osatekeseka” Lacey (3-0) ndipo Taylor rahan (6-6) mu featherweight podwala. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” mwezi watha. Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport. Trahan will be looking to play the role of spoiler while also avenging the loss of his Team Link teammate John Santos (3-5) to Lacey in Bangor this past August.
The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight betweenNick “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) ndipo Yorgan Bergestro (2-2). DeCastro stepped up to the plate to face Gulliver when no other heavyweight in the region would do so. Gulliver has been on a path of destruction, ripping through three opponents in a combined two minutes.
Two women’s fights are on tap for “NEF 26.” Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga (2-2) returns from Florida to meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black beltBrianne Genschel (0-0). Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate“Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) will also be in action againstFernanda Araújo (4-4-2).
Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy in Portland, Maine will send two new fighters to the cage at “NEF 26.” Chad Pierce(0-0) will debut against Shatterproof’sLyman Curtis(0-0), pamene Phil Chiasson(0-0) akukumana Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics. Both bouts will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

Hannah Sparrell was introduced to the sport when she began taking her daughter to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes. Sparrell soon found herself training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. She made her in-cage debut last fall against Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-1) pa “NEF XIX” mu Lewiston. Sparrell was victorious that evening, scoring a unanimous decision from the judges after an exhausting three-round fight. She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time at “Nef 22.”
“I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, pa Epulo 23, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ Ndiye anati, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.”
Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “NEF XIX.” In a wild, “fight of the night” performance, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ scorecards, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. Pa Epulo 23, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.
“I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” ananena Young. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ Nthawiyi, Komabe, my hand will be raised.”

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake khumi ndi chisanu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XIX,” lachiwelu, September 12, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisée mu Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) ndipo Nick Shea (1-0) kuchokera Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Posachedwapa, Choyamba Maphunziro MMA woyambitsa ndi mutu mphunzitsi John “Choyamba Maphunziro” Ray anagwirizana NEF co-mwini ndi uje amange banja Mat Peterson monga mlendo pa NEF Podcast.
Izi kale June, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, monga kukonzekera Sparrell, Velado ndi Shea awo adziwitse mwauchidakwa.
“Ine ndithudi tikhoza kuika zambiri nthawi mwanga omenyana komanso banja langa,” Anati Ray. “Omenyana, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, pamene inu kuphunzitsa kwa ndewu, ziribe kanthu momwe inu muyesera kuganizira Nick Shea kapena Nick Gully kapena Hannah Sparrell kapena Rafael kapena wathu omenyana, simungakwanitse kuika 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, anu komanso ana anu.”
Popeza kubadwa kwa NEF kumayambiriro 2012, ndipo anayamba kuphulika kwa masewera a kutchuka m'chigawo, ambiri atsopano gyms anapezeka zaposachedwapa, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, koposa china chilichonse, ndi zolimba ogwirizana, ngati a banja m'mlengalenga kuti zachitika pa malo popeza iye anatsegula masewero olimbitsa.
“Lalikulu chinthu Ndimakonda wathu masewero olimbitsa, Ndimasangalala akupita komanso kukhala gawo la, pali ndi wodzichepetsa kwambiri gulu la ophunzira ndi aphunzitsi,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.”
The “Choyamba Maphunziro” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio zinatsala mbiri ya waulemu, apamwamba, akatswiri, likeable munthu, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Ndimayesetsa kumathandizira aliyense mofanana,” Anati Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (pa masewero olimbitsa), panthawi yake, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ngati iwo akuchita aulemu kwa aphunzitsi kapena ophunzira ena, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Yathu masewero olimbitsa amakopa, zifukwa zina, anthu basi anthu abwino.”
Ndi zambiri latsopano ophunzira kubwera kudzera masewero olimbitsa pakhomo, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.
“Pambuyo otsiriza amasonyeza (NEF XVIII), nditaona Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) kuti dzanja lake anamuukitsa ndi Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ndinasangalala kwambiri anthu anyamata,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Ine ndinati 'tikapita 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.’ I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.”

Lewiston, Maine (August 31, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake khumi ndi chisanu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XIX,” lachiwelu, September 12, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisée mu Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts.

Mnzanu wa Achinyamata Kira Innocenti (0-0) amadziwikanso inakonzedwa kuti iye kuwonekera koyamba kugulu motsutsana Hannah Sparrell (0-0) ku First Maphunziro MMA mu Brunswick.
Angela Young ndi mkazi wa Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.
“It’s important for me to test myself,” anati Young, “osati mu khola anabweraSeptember 12, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, izo zinali zambiri za kupirira mwa zopinga ndi kukankha wanga malire monga mpikisano m'njira anali kuyesedwa. Inali kutsimikizira kuti ndekha, wanga mabogi wanga ankaseŵera nawo mpira kuti ndazipeza langa lamanja mwatsatane mu khola.”
Kodi m'mbuyomu akazi akhala anangolemba sideshow ndi zachilendo zigawo za nkhondo zamasewera, ngati nkhonya, amai MMA wakhala osati atauka kuti ofanana HIV ndi anthu a MMA, izo ziyenera, m'njira zina, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, ndi apamwamba analipira wothamanga, chake akazi a bantamweight ngwazi Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 khadi adzakhala apita patsogolo ndi kayendedwe kuwonjezera mwayi akazi pa maiko oyandikana.
“MMA akazi si ndizofunikira osiyana kusiyana ndi amuna,” ananena Young. “N'zodziwikiratu, MMA ndi ambiri mwamuna masewera, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Kudzera nkhondo msasa ine analimbana, sparred ndi analimbana ndi Young a MMA nkhondo gulu ndipo akhala unrelentingly wothandiza. Kukhala mmodzi wa mkazi woyamba omenyana kuchokera Young a ndithu uli ndi mavuto (komanso kukwatiwa ndi Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Ndimafuna kuti akazi kuvala lalikulu bwanji chifukwa ife ndi chinachake kutsimikizira. Ndaika magazi, thukuta ndi misozi ku maphunziro ndi inu bwino ndikhulupirira poganiza akutsutsana nane anachita chimodzimodzi. Ndiye anati, akazi ati abwere pambuyo kudzala awo pamtengo mu NEF khola.”
Ana a mnzanu, Kira Innocenti, komanso ali ndi mdani pa “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, amaoneka amati ndi Young maganizo a pa kuwonjezereka wa amayi MMA.
“Akazi a MMA ndi pa kuwuka,” Anati Innocenti. “Aliyense chilango limaphunzitsa mkazi chinachake sakudziwa za yekha. Ndaona ine chidaliro mu ndekha ndi ena ambiri. The akazi ena pa mphasa, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, ndipo ndekha kupereka izo athu onse ndi kupita kunkhondo ngati mwamuna Ankhondo Young a MMA kuchita. Ife anayesetsa kuti tizikhala masewero olimbitsa. Ife asamenyana kunyada, chilakolako, ndi wamphamvu ngodya kuyang'ana kunja kwa ife. Nukuuzyani vyendi kuti akazi ayi adzakhala wosaiwalika.”
“Akazi a MMA ndi masewera basi,” ananena Reinheimer wa Everett, Massachusetts. “Si chinthu filimu kumene ngwazi nkutha ku nkhalango masiku atatu kuphunzitsa ndi asilikali luso mbuye ndiyeno anagonjetsa lonse lankhondo. Si bala chipolowe polimbana. Si mmbuyo Alley abisalire. Akazi awa ali aakulu othamanga amene aziphuzitsa mwakhama kwa zaka ntchito yabwino maphunziro, zida ndi zipangizo zimene zilipo. Women amene kupikisana nawo nkhondo masewera amathera maola ambiri magazi, thukuta ndi misozi kutsiriza awo masewera. Iwo kudzimana. Komanso, pali malamulo ndi nthawi malire ndi ngozi. Pamene munthu sadziwa lingaliro la amai MMA, Ndiuyerekeze ndi nkhonya kapena kuchinga, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Wanga mdani Ine ndi onse aakulu, olimbikira m'misasa. Tonse amayi ndipo kumafunika khama ndi galimoto kuchita mpira pamene juggling ntchito ndi ana. Ndakhala ntchito mwakhama wanga gulu kuyambira wanga wotsiriza nkhondo kuti ndizolowere masewera m'mbali zonse. Ndikuthokoza kwambiri chifukwa cha chidwi maphunziro ndi ankaseŵera nawo mpira pa Sityodtong kuti kukankhira nane molimba. Pa September 12, mungayembekezere nkhondo.”
Anthu ambiri, amuna ndi akazi, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, achikulire ndi ana, buluu kolala ndi makolala oyera, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, Komabe, amene adalumidwa ndi mpikisano cholakwika.
“I kwa anthu MMA dziko pambuyo kusainira mwana wanga kwa Jiu Jitsu makalasi kuganiza zingakhale zothandiza kwa iye yekha chitetezo mbali nawo masewera,” anakumbukira Hanna Sparrell. “Ndinangoyang'ana pamene iye anagwa mchikondi ndi masewera, kupeza mphamvu ndi chidaliro, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, ndiyeno kwenikweni ankafuna kufufuza zina za dziko MMA. Kukhala mu masewero olimbitsa wakhala yachiwiri kunyumba kwa ine ndi mwana wanga, maphunziro anga okondedwa, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, ndi mayeso a athleticism, komanso mayesero a maganizo ndi malingaliro pagalimoto. Popeza kuwonetsedwa ku wosakaniza asilikali luso dziko Ndaika thupi langa, mtima, ndi miyoyo maphunziro, ndi kupikisana mu podwala n'kofunika ine zifukwa zambiri, osati kuimira ndekha ndi ntchito zanga, komanso kuimira khama, kudzipereka, ndi chilimbikitso ndalandira kwa anzanga, alangizi, maphunziro abwenzi, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, mwathupi kwambiri kulimbitsa thupi, ndipo ndi wabwino mwa "mankhwala" pamapeto a mwina nkhawa tsiku. Ndili ndi zambiri akazi ine kuphunzitsa ndi, sionse amene akukonza pa nkhondo, koma phindu la masewera zilipobe, ndipo amakonda izo chimodzimodzi basi.”
Innocenti, monga ambiri, anachita nkhondo masewera monga njira mu, ndi kukhala mu, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.
“Kumuyesa ndekha mu wosakaniza asilikali luso podwala n'kofunika ine ambiri zonse. Zaka ziwiri zapitazo, Ndinali wonenepa ndi ankavutika kupeza wathanzi, wosangalatsa njira. Tsiku lina, Ndinadzuka ndipo anatenga moyo ndi ulamuliro ndi theka pachaka, anataya mapaundi sikisite pandekha. Ine akalandire kuti vuto, m'malo, ndipo anafuna wina. Aaron “Osatekeseka” Lacey anandiuza za Young a MMA ndi ine anakakamizika fufuzani. Atalowa mwa zitseko, kuyesera onse a makalasi, ndi misonkhano banja amene anapanga kwapadera, Ine anazolowera. Ndinapemphera cholinga kukhala wa mkazi woyamba omenyana pa arguably lalikulu kwambiri nkhondo timu ku New England. Ine nthawizonse zakhala mpikisano. Ndimasangalala otsutsana ndekha ndi kukankha malire kuti amaganiziridwa kuti n'zosatheka tikwaniritse. Kukhala mitundu yosiyanasiyana asilikali luso moyo ndi lolimba. Pamafunika kudzipereka kuposa ine ndinayamba amaganizira. Iwo akuswa inu ndi kumanga inu kubwerera ku munthu ndinu. Nkhondoyi n'kofunika kwambiri chifukwa ndakhala asokoneza ndi zodabwitsa gulu nane kuti amaphunzitsidwa ndi ambiri zolimbikitsa ndi zolimbikitsa mabogi. Ndine wotsimikiza kuti iwo wonyada ndi kuthokoza iwo ndi dzanja langa waukitsidwa.”
“Wosakaniza masewera a karati ndi akamuphe ya mzimu wa munthu pa nkhani iliyonse: mwathupi, mwamaganizo, ndi maganizo,” anati Reinheimer. “Ndili ndi kulakalaka kudziwa momwe ndingapite. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, moyo wanga wakhala malire-zochepa. Moyo wanga pa mphasa bwino moyo wanga pa mphasa ndi mosemphanitsa. Iwo anavula zonse zosafunika zinthu zina asungunulidwa moyo wanga mpaka chofunika, mkati ndi kunja kwa mphete. Ine ndikumverera ngati izo anandithandiza kwambiri ndi wanga lodalirika kudzikonda. Ndi bwino wakale asilikali zaluso ndi moyo wamasiku ano.”
A akazi anayi kumenyana pa “NEF XIX” khadi, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 mu Lewiston ndi okondwa chifukwa cha mwayi.
“NEF ndi olimba Kukwezeleza ndi lalikulu mbiri,” anati Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Ndikuyang'anira!”
“Ine ndikuganiza mafani angayembekezere lalikulu bwanji ndithu,” anafuula Sparrell. “Nthawi zambiri akazi a ndewu atsimikizira kuti kwambiri chotchedwa, ife ndithudi ndikufuna kuti ndife oyenera mu yaikulu mwamuna-chogwidwa masewera. Ichi ndi kuwonekera koyamba kugulu atatu kuchokera anayi akazi pa khadi, kotero ine ndikudziwa pali adzakhala zambiri mtima ndi mtima kuponyedwa awa ndewu. Ndikudziwa, panokha, Ndine okondwa kuimira!
